Abstract	One of the most valued approaches to identify course prerequisites relies on statistical techniques, typically requiring institutional-research support. Yet these techniques are often inadequate for prerequisite identification purposes. A discussion of the reasons for the inappropriateness of these techniques is presented. A review of common practices used to identify prerequisites is also presented, and some basic notions related to the concept of prerequisites are discussed. A tool conceived by one of the authors' institutional-research offices for the purpose of identifying prerequisites is presented and demonstrated. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.) (As Provided).
